Anti-Trump protests in London on day two of state visit

The leader of Britain’s opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, addressed the rally, calling it “the living embodiment of what a democratic society was all about”. Linda Coplestone, 64, a retired teacher from London, said she was protesting inaction by Trump on climate change. The crowd, several thousand strong, was far smaller than the one that protested Trump’s first visit to Britain as president in July 2018, but featured the same British humor.

Trump and his wife Melania arrived on Monday for a three-day state visit that included a banquet hosted by Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace on Monday evening.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Be careful what you're protesting. When you leave the EU America is your next best option for trade and alliance.

Being anti trump is just a trend right now. Keep following the herd like the pack of cattle you are. I’ll enjoy more money and a stable US customs system in the mean time.

Thank you President Trump, and keep up the great work. Thanks to the PM and the royal family for their gracious hospitality.

And Donald calls it fake news. Donald said, the people are welcoming him with cheers. Lol

gm_gm budimandjatmiko Di USA ada KOMISI ENERGI independen, budget USD 28 Milyar/th itu bisa buat harga gas/listrik setengah harga dari harga di NKRI, kok bisa? Budget itu utk bangun pipa gas, sistem listrik yg EFISIEN, bukan utk SUBSIDI spt NKRI DEFISIT.

Typical Reuters, so disingenuous. They inflate the numbers off the charts, and refuse to show the pro-Trump participants that were there also. Disgusting.

The Emperor and his cohorts have no clothes...

Desperate Tories and faded brand Trump promoted with plagiarised and stolen material 2001 onwards...

Huawei (like Trump and the current Tory Administration) promoted with plagiarised/stolen material ...various crime reference numbers issued in connection with the fraud...

They make me laugh 😂

QUE LE PASA A TODA ESTA BANDA DE IGNOTANTES'''''''''''' '🤨

Sad; press is so misinforming people as to the Trump Admin benefits...that having been said, understand why some of his expectations would not go over well but this childish nonsense is beneath people we call friends! Typical Dem BS attack the person if you don’t like policies!

Why are you not posting this?

They were boasting 250,000 were expected. Did I miscount or were they off by 240000 or so?

Turnout was a few thousand not the hundreds of thousands touted. They left a mountain of trash behind them, disrupted people with jobs. Pro-Trump supporters were screamed at & assaulted. Oh..and the “GIANT” 20ft Trump blimp barely got off the ground before it was popped.

Trump is visiting the UK because he's invited by the Queen her majestic as a guest. No matter whether you like Trump or not, it's extremely disrespectful to the Queen to attack her guest, on this occasion.

Its been all quiet where I live not a trump protestor or any controversy in sight at all !!

Stone cold losers at their best TrumpProtest TrumpUKVisit Just imagine, if all that far-left energy, creativity, finances & time was diverted to reducing knife crime & housing London homeless. Roll on Brexit

Euro click-bait

Nowhere near the people that cheered him though.

Fake news?😅😂

The public seems underwhelmed by the President’s visit.

piersmorgan in case you missed it...

The United States can learn from our wonderful allies in showing such allegiance to a cause in protest.

What has the UK become

I can no more than 200 protesters ! Ordinary people are at work

'Mar'? Or enhance?

Didn't we kick their ass all the way back to England for their beliefs? Let the s it hit the fan in a war and their scared asses will come a running...actually, who cares what they think? How are they doing in the government leadership dept? England is one screwed up place anyway

I just hope he sees this.

Can’t wait to see the reaction if Trump wins again in 2020

Corbyn didn't get the crowd he wanted. About 1/10 of what he claimed-then he went on a hateful rant. The guy who pals w/ Palestine.

realDonaldTrump PressSec WOW - did you see the crowd size

Say what you will about the British, they always show such class and dignity.

AntiTrump

Thank you London!!!!

What's with the Quenn Amidala get ups?

Trump still labouring under the delusion& misapprehension that he is very popular & beloved! He is really out of his element& out of lunch in fact
